Does dad enjoy a rich dram of whisky? Perhaps a refreshing beer, a smooth glass of wine – or something else entirely? There’s something on this list that will make his day special. 

For the Dad Who Loves a Dram

If your dad is a whisky enthusiast, consider treating him to a bottle of something truly exceptional. The Glenlivet 18-Year-Old is a classic choice, known for its rich, complex flavours of oak, spice, and fruit. It’s a whisky that has been aged to perfection, offering a smooth and sophisticated drinking experience.

Another excellent choice is Pokeno Origin, a whisky that hails from the Waikato (read more about it here). This expression boasts a wonderful balance of malt sweetness and gentle peat smoke, making it a unique and enjoyable dram. For something a little lighter, Glenmorangie The Original 10-Year-Old's delicate notes of citrus and vanilla makes this whisky is a brilliant introduction to the world of single malts.

For the Beer-Loving Dad

For the dad who prefers a cold beer, why not surprise him with a selection of premium brews? Heineken Silver Low Carb's light and balanced flavour make it a perfect drink for any occasion.

If your dad enjoys craft beer, Panhead Pickup Hazy is a great option. This hazy IPA is packed with juicy hop flavours and a smooth, creamy mouthfeel. For something a bit more traditional, Liberty Halo Pilsner offers a refreshing and clean taste, with just the right amount of bitterness. 

For the Dad Who’s a Bit Different

If your dad likes to stand out from the crowd, consider gifting him something a little unconventional. Batched Espresso Martini is perfect for the dad who enjoys a good cocktail but doesn’t want to fuss with ingredients. This ready-to-drink cocktail delivers a rich and smooth coffee flavour with a kick of vodka.

For whisky lovers, Bruichladdich offers something unique with its unpeated Islay whisky. If rum is more his style, Appleton Estate 12-Year-Old Rare Blend Rum is a superb choice. This Jamaican rum is rich, full-bodied, and bursting with flavours of toffee, oak, and spice.

For the Dad Who Appreciates Red Wine

The Ned Pinot Noir is a New Zealand favourite, it’s an easy-drinking wine that pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes.

Rabbit Ranch Pinot Noir is another solid choice, with its vibrant fruit flavours and smooth, velvety texture. Finally, Jacob’s Creek Merlot is a classic red that offers rich plum and blackberry notes with a soft, rounded finish.
